Pulsed light is an emerging non thermal processing technology used for food decontamination. A laboratory scale pulsed light treatment chamber was designed and fabricated. In this study, tender coconut water was exposed to pulsed light to inactivate the E. coli using different process parameter such as juice layer depth (5, 10, 15 and 20mm), shelf height (5, 10 and 15cm) and number of pulses (60, 120, 180 and 240 flashes) corresponding to an fluency of , , and . |
